How the heck do you monetize that? Build Your Army podcast episode one. We are building your army of multiple income sources, your automated income stack. We're not building your army against people, we are building it against your alarm clock, we are building it against your trading time for money business that you feel stuck in or your corporate gig that you hate.I am Nelly, your hostess with the leastess, and in this episode, we're going to talk about how to monetize your ideas and your concepts. We're gonna go through business concepts, we're gonna go through some unique concepts, we're gonna go through some ways to expand your income with your existing business. Income stacking with different ideas. So we're gonna stay in the same category or business model. We're just gonna have multiple ways of making money with the same clientele. Ethically, by the way. We're not looking to scam anybody, we're not looking to rip anybody off, we're looking to be able to sleep at night, but collect revenue while we do that. And I'm gonna discuss a few business models and how to monetize those different business concepts and ideas. Let's get right into it.You are already in business and running a business now, but you're trading time for money, but you're really tired and it's hard to scale. For example, health and beauty is perfect for this concept. Let's say you're a personal trainer or a makeup artist, you can't make more money than you are available to work. If you have eight clients a day and you're with them one hour each client, you can't really scale that income beyond when you're available.As a makeup artist and it takes you an hour to do a face, then you can't really scale that up to make more money unless you're hiring staff. But the goal is to automate your revenue, stack a bunch of different revenue sources on top of that revenue and basically detach yourself from it, so that it's automated and you can go on vacation or go to bed and wake up to a higher bank account because you've made money while you're in your sleep 'cause somebody ordered something online.If you have a business now, personal trainer, makeup artist, anything in health and beauty, and you're trading time for money, you can take that business with your knowledge and create an asset that you can sell over and over again, put that up online through a digital course or a physical product that's related to your service and sell that online.And with tools and systems to automate it, you would just have to focus on the marketing and the distribution of your message in order to get as many eyeballs as possible to view your offer, your product or your service you're providing. If you're already in business, and you love that business, just take that existing idea and expand on it and create it in a different format that applies to the internet, in a digital format that you can sell or a physical product that you can ship.If you do not like your business then take that opportunity to pivot into a different industry that you believe that you will love more or a problem that you wish to solve that you will have more fun with solving. If you are a corporate employee or you're pivoting and you're not quite sure what kind of business you wanna go into, here's what I suggest: Take a look at your bookshelf.I will say that again, take a look at your bookshelf. If you're an avid reader and you take a look at your bookshelf, you will see a theme that will stand out. You're either always reading about businesses or marketing or just maybe you're still reading about health and wellness, and fitness training, and skin care or self-improvement.Somewhere in that bookshelf is a business concept or idea or piece of knowledge that you have been obsessing over or absorbing for years without even realizing it because that is your true... That is the true topic that you gravitate to. So if a friend or family member came up to you and asked you for advice,

My name is Nelson AKA, Nelly. My friends and loved ones call me that, anyway. This is the Build Your Army podcast, the intro podcast actually, so episode triple zero. And why did I call it that? Well, because this is just an introductory episode to explain to you what the heck is build your army? What are we talking about? What kind of army are we building?

We're not building an army of soldiers, to go to war against another country or company or competitors. We are building an army of preferred clients, business partners, automated revenue streams, income stacking is what I will refer to it. Basically, you take your primary source of income, and you splice it into four or more automated versions of that income to maximize your revenue.

We're gonna build an army of income, Business partners, and preferred clients. We're going to war against our alarm clocks because waking up in the morning to that, just annoying frustrating sound is just the worst way to live. So if you have a full-time job that you're not a fan of or you're an entrepreneur and you feel stuck in that business that you're in, you don't love it anymore. This podcast is for you. This whole program build your army is for you. Again, we're going to war against your job or your business that you don't love. And we're going to war against trading time for income.

If you are in the health and beauty business, it's one thing to be a personal trainer or a make-up artist, but you cannot scale that. So we need the power of the internet and some automation and some tools and systems to automate your revenue and just stack on top of your current revenue, so you can make more money and step away from your business eventually. A war against trading time for money.

Now, I'm gonna give you some examples. This works best... Or at least in my mind, it's easiest to come up with concepts in the health and beauty industry. So let's say you're a personal trainer, and you have to wake up at six in the morning to watch some guy or gal do push ups again, on a Monday morning, and you've been doing it for a year or two, you're probably sick of watching this person muscle through these push-ups, and you just... it's boring, but you love personal training.

What you can do is take that knowledge and package it in a lovely little bow. Put it on the internet as a course or a program, pre-record it, put a sales pitch together, we're gonna do it ethically and not sleazy, where you're gonna add value, and you're gonna feel good about it, so you're not gonna feel like you're selling. And then we're gonna put that up on the internet and using tools to automate it. 

Someone can go to your site or your sales funnel click the buy button trade their credit card information for your program, you will not have to talk to a single person, you will earn that revenue 24/7, 7 days a week, no matter where you are in the world, because we're going global with this and that's the concept.

If you're a makeup artist, we're gonna show you how to do tutorials, so that you can put that up online, sell your tutorials, sell your knowledge basically, and you're gonna trade your knowledge for some automated revenue. I'm not talking about passive income, because you still have to work, you still have to market, we're gonna talk about marketing.

You still have to put it in the work, but the transaction is not... You don't have to be present for the transaction, that's all gonna be automated. There's gonna be a heavier push on marketing because unless you know how to market a product, no one's gonna know it exists so you could have the best product in the world, if somebody doesn't know it exists, nobody cares. Okay?

Robert Kiyosaki is notorious for talking about four types of revenue streams. I'm gonna talk about a fifth, which is just piggy-backing on his concepts, the guy's brilliant.
